XBox, as a brand, on trial at E3 this year.

From the Microsoft camp, this looks like it will be a VERY strong E3.

We've got Halo 5, which after the Beta playing better than the MCC a year before launch, I'm very excited for.

Forza has become the gold-standard racer on any console and 6 will likely correct many issues people had with 5.

Quantum Break looks bloody amazing.

Scalebound could be stunning.

Crackdown 3 may shut-up a lot of the haters laughing about cloud-processing being able to substantially impact games.

A potential for a new Gears title is there. Whatever Rare is doing.

If only we could get a Ninja Gaiden in the vein of Ninja Gaiden 1 on the original xbox...I would be in heaven.

From what I have seen in general Xbox One owners seem to be more sufficiently happy and content with their purchases than PlayStation 4 owners. The amount of desperation in the creation of threads like this speaks volumes as an attempt to belittle what others own to make them feel as if they've done something wrong and at the same time make you feel better about what you own, dragging others down to your level more or less.

One good game in the last 12 months that 1/22nd of the PlayStation 4 community purchased, and who knows what fraction of even that small number enjoyed it/are happy with their purchase of it, probably not too many considering how inaccessible of a game it is, what it is and how it was marketed in a way that would entice basically anyone.

What is there for the next 12 months? Until Dawn and then Uncharted 4? An interactive movie which has already put a horrible taste in peoples mouths because of The Order fiasco and then Uncharted 4 which is the saving grace a year from now? A fucking year.... Forza Horizon 2, The Master Chief Collection, Project Spark, Sunset Overdrive, Ori and the Blind Forest, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Fable Legends, Halo 5, Forza 6, Quantum Break, Crackdown 3, Scalebound, Gears of War, Phantom Dust and whatever else the Microsoft has on the board including a new Rare IP, that's a tough act to follow and people are taking notice. That is why all of these anti Microsoft and Xbox One threads are popping up, people are getting jealous and having buyers remorse so they lash out, they see that this console they despise and its user base are being taken care of and delivered good games in a timely fashion while Sony is basically saying....

"Sorry, we know things are sparse, so enjoy these other games which will be on both the PC and Xbox One, but in our minds they're exclusives."

Get the **** out of here with that shit, this console while selling good has been a complete disorganized and unprepared disaster... People call me a lemming because they think that I am in love with Microsoft, no, I am just extremely displeased with Sony and honest enough with myself and others to make it known. You can fluff things all you like, you can cite sales figures until the cows come home, but at the end of the day it's not going to change that Xbox One owners are more happy.

The PlayStation 4 and what it provides is underwhelming to the core, and that's not going to change for at least a year...

I dunno man, I got miy X1 ready to put on Craigs List/Ebay just in case.

Noone believes that, not even you.

Wanna bet that all those games are going to get a higher score than The Order? Go play your indiestation, cow

no it didn't.

And don't post that stupid article by the Forcast company IDC which was just that, A forecast and was debunked a million times.

all we really know is that the 360 passed 80 million units a whole month before the Ps3 and that the 360 sold 83 million units as of March 31st last year and the Ps3 had sold 82-83 million as of sept 2014 which is 6 months after the 360 hit that figure.

' As for the stats, we've heard the PS3 has sold around 82 or 83 million'

I was thinking the same thing. I stopped reading at "500 pound gorilla". Too much troll text to waste my time reading.

This is false, objectively speaking.

They are getting beat by Sony, outclassed even in the console space, but they aren't struggling.

Being generally content and happy with a console that hasn't had a big budget exclusive since.. Sunset Overdrive came out?

Who am I to argue with that. Greatness Awaits, Lems. Gotta have that holiday lineup since a voice activated cable remote has to do for the rest of the year.

As a person who owns an Xbox One. I'm not worried about MS having a terrible showing at E3 this year. I mean seriously we are treating these the Xbox One and PS4 like they are political parties and going to promise us minimum wage growth, and will fix the economy. They are just console meant to have fun with and I'm having fun with mine. Both systems while probably need to be replaced with in the next 3 to 4 years but right now are fine. Also people seriously need to say consoles are holding back the PC in the performance department. No PC does that on its own when you consider the fact you have to develop a game for a user base that has specs ranging from processors only outputing barely 2.1 GB on a single core to 3.2 GB on a octo-core. So yeah I understand why some developers may have a hard time optimizing games for PC.

for the next year at least.

Yeah because PS4 was doing sooooo good in that department... You haven't had anything since launch until Bloodborne came. That's only a waiting period of 1.5 years... And now they have to wait another year for the next decent game (UC4). It's so good being a PS4 owner, keep waiting on that greatness

As I said before MS could come in, talk about history for 10 minutes, close with Halo 5, have a 25 minute conference and be perfectly fine because Halo 5.

This thread is full of hopes and dreams that won't happen for the TC.

Yup. It will be a year between exclusives? sad, I just want games to play on the gosh darn thing. :(

I think ms has a ton to prove... Maybe more so they need to finally set a tone of what they're gonna be this generation...

That said, Sony desperately needs to provide us with something of worth.... They literally released bloodborne this year.... And that's it. Both of these companies better have a good showing.

So where are the AAA big budget exclusives for the PS4, in between Bloodborne and Uncharted 4?

Also that's a poor argument since multiplats are the number one selling games.

Good point on both your arguments. People are so focused on exclusives that they forget 3rd party games sell more than exclusives. People fail to realize that either console get all them multiplatform games so I always have that, "Yourconsole doesn't have any games" statement laughable cause both side are playing mostly 3rd party games right now.

We're 6 and a half months into 2015, though. HolidayBone fans don't have a fucking thing to stand on when chirping about PS4s lineup.

The Order? You sure do aim low lol scared of flopping ? hahahahaa

I think this E3 is going to be one of the best ones ever. I am thinking MS and Sony will have several "megatons". Not sure about Nintendo, though.

In the end, Cows will say Sony won, lemmings will say MS won.

MS is a lot more financially viable than Sony, but they are that way because they do not do things like "Buy EA". If any company was to "buy" their way into the video game market today, it would be Apple - who could buy EA, Sony, or probably hostile take over MS, etc. with their cash reserves.

It did. PS3 outsold 360 in Japan and EU

These are facts. Cry MOAR! and keep denying facts

Key witness Sam Lake has removed his ankle bracelet and is on the run.

On trial. 2015 is already going to be great on Xbox with what we know already. There is only more to come. Sony? Not so much. :(

You are the one saying "worthy"... My point was that PS4 even has less, than Xbox One as a games line-up

Technically the xb1 is not flopping, it's just the fact that the PS4 is selling so damn good that it makes the Xb1 look bad. As far as them staying or going they most likely will, I mean the xbox division is not the most profitable division in MS but they still bring in billions of dollars each year, last year I think it was like 86 billion according to Bloomberg. But thats not what worries me, what I'm concerned about are the shareholders who have no interest in gaming and cannot see the value of gaming if done right, they only see dollar signs.

I'm interested in all of the games they have to show, I'm just not expecting to see any games other than the ones they have previously announced were in development. I could be wrong but I'm not gonna get my hopes up.

Over-exaggerating much? This is some serious concern trolling. Microsoft is here to stay and they'll be kicking some serious ass this E3.

There is honestly no way they can **** up at E3 with their games lineup:

• Halo 5
• Fable Legends
• Forza 6
• Rise of Tomb Raider
• Gears of War Ultimate Edition
• Quantum Break
• Crackdown
• Scalebound
• Phantom Dust
• Rare's new game(s)
• Gears of War 4
• Twisted Pixel new IP
• Press Play new IP

Best lineup in Xbox history!

Lems lets get some facts straight

X360 ended up on second place , had 1 year more in the market , it won PS3 by a mere thousands units more .. Thats far from success , or if you calling it a success for whatever reason , then Ps3 had as much of success as X360. So you have to decide ... was X360 a success or not since PS3 with myriad of problems as a product and company in the verge of bankruptcy ended up on par with it ?

Now , it was really X360 that did really good vs PS3 or PS3 did really bad to itself. Ask this question to yourself and the first it comes to your mind , thats the right answer ... And what comes first in the mind of any legit gamer out there ?

PS3s ridiculous price / PS3s lack of games the first 2 years / PS3s really BS marketing / PS3s BS hardware choices / PS3s broken promises etc etc ... Majority will think what PS3s problem were and not what X360 had to offer...

Now that PS4 has a decent price , a solid architecture and a decent library ... dont even bother to even think having the same results as last generation. Even with games like FF/Tekken/DMC etc being still multis. You have zero chances ... Its up to Sony what the outcome will be , dont get cocky because of last generation , X360 did as bad as PS3 did ( or good , you choose ) and you shouldnt be proud about it.

Even less what? PS4 has more games coming out and announced than the Bone. More AAAE... More everything.

The facts war is one a lem will always lose my friend.

After the bone blows its load this holiday season with probably another price drop aswell, what will you play in 2016? LOL.

If any of that turns out like 343i's last two products then you're going to wish they splashed on some third party goodness.

OK kiddo, tell yourself whatever makes you sleep at night

I expect nothing of the PC press event, but I can still totally see the PC conference winning this E3 because the others have barely anything to show that isn't a PC game XD

PC wins every second, every minute, every hour, every day, every week, every month, every year. PC is the One Ring to Rule Them All.

When you think about it, it's more like the PC has 3 press conferences this year.

With everyone seemingly using x86 based APUs, it was the natural outcome.

When your console's biggest exclusive halfway through 2015 is from 2014, you know you've chosen quality. Amirite?

The same can be said in reverse. When your consoles biggest exclusive is a delayed game that ending up in 2015............

@FoxbatAlpha: Selling better because it was cheaper and 360 broke down after a year or two

I think the XBone's slow as **** interface trained XBox fans to wait for games. They operate on Jupiter time compared to the rest of us mere earthlings, and that's why everything seems alright.

What you meant?

You said that the X1 is selling better, but you have to keep in mind that X1 has lowered the price of the console of 150 plus games. The reason is that it's selling better is because they're desperate and it's doing very poorly vs the PS4 which is selling better than the PS2

I will keep that in mind. I also remember the PS2 having a damn decent library at this point in its life compared to the PS4. This generations Wii confirmed. Casual novelty.

Different SKU, but keep reaching

This is Cow talk,dont stare at it too long and don't bother debating the stupidity.Its just beating a dead horse.

PS4 doesn't have a really superior game collection vs X1, but X1 doesn't have a better game collection than PS4 either. X1 has fucked up, though i have to praise them for selling this well compared to 360. They're doing something right

Then I wish you the best!!!

@FoxbatAlpha: what?

I wish you the best as in have a good day. It was nice talking with you.

oh, i thought you were being sarcastic

Are you not entertained?
